Re: [Http-grease] Brief review of Greasing HTTP (draft-nottingham-http-grease-00)

Hey Martin,

It certainly would have helped me. 

I particularly like the following paragraph:

"The principle that grease operates on is that an implementation that is
regularly exposed to unknown values is less likely to be intolerant of new
values when they appear. This depends largely on the assumption that the
difficulty of implementing the extension mechanism correctly is not
significantly more effort than implementing code to identify and filter out
reserved values. Reserving random or unevenly distributed values for this
purpose is thought to further discourage special treatment."

Have a good day,

Christian
